Hypo: $2M for free or $6M if you go 50%+ as NFL kicker
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 13th, 2026 12:39 PM Author: Nazca Redlines You have your choice of:
$2M for doing nothing
--or--
$6M if you make 50% or more of FGs and extra points in 1 season as an NFL placekicker.
You will be randomly assigned to an NFL team for the 2026 season.
The coach will have an unusual and targetted form of amnesia that causes him to think his regular kicker will be kicking the FGs and PATs. But when he sends the kick team out there, you'll go. So, you'll get as many FG and PAT attempts as the regular kicker would. There is no fallback plan if you're injured. The team will snap the ball, the holder will hold it, and it will count as a miss.
Due to a loophole, you won't take up a roster spot, so the team will keep its regular kicker on the roster, and he'll take kick offs. |

What about 60m to go 50% on pats only. I’d be tempted by that with some time to practice |
|
Date: April 13th, 2026 1:12 PM Author: Nazca Redlines The majority--maybe the vast majority--of attempts would be PAT length of less. Real NFL kickers are close to automatic from that distance. If you can make most of your kicks from that distance and a few from longer, you could get the $6M.
Did you not play a little ball in college? |

Date: April 13th, 2026 2:18 PM Author: some on social media Sure, but I played defense, which wins championships IIRC. We made the kicker fill the water jugs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5856655&forum_id=2#49814712) |

This makes the $2m the clear winner. It's one thing if he calibrates his expectations to my skill level, and the team doesn't kick any field goals longer than say 30 yards. But if I'm expected to make longer kicks like his regular kicker I don't think I can get even close to 50%.
Little 20-30 yard chippies, I think I may do that. |
|
Date: April 13th, 2026 1:15 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Most are 30(ish)-yard chips or less because most would be PATs or short FGs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5856655&forum_id=2#49814500) |

Date: April 13th, 2026 1:34 PM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) Yeah I think the purpose of this parameter was so that you don't get fired, or the team doesn't quit attempting FGs, when they realize their kicker is by far the worst athlete to ever grace an nfl field.
But it'd probably be fairer (or at least more apt to tempt some folks to go for the $6M) if it was: your team makes all the same FG attempts, but you get to choose which ones you run out there for, and you just have to rack up x number of attempts over the season--so you can't just hit your second PAT and then chill until early 2027 (or late 2026 if you opt to play for the Jets). |

Date: April 13th, 2026 1:16 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Explain. You have 5 months to practice until the start of the season, then all week, every week to get better during the season. 50% including PATs--not just FGs--is a low bar.

Date: April 13th, 2026 1:28 PM Author: richard clock 2M easy. besides the fact that im not going to train myself into kicking 50 yard fgs, which are increasingly common in the nfl, the injury risk is through the roof for us 40+ year old lawyers coming off the aeron to suddenly max effort kick all day. lots of us are going to blow something out, which is an automatic L under these terms.

|
Date: April 13th, 2026 1:46 PM Author: Nazca Redlines You don't have to make any 50 yarders. Just consistently make 35s and under with a few 40ish yarders sprinkled in.
And, relatedly, no need to max effort and risk injury if don't try to make the 50 yarders. |

Date: April 13th, 2026 2:00 PM Author: Emperor CRISPR Chad von Neumann III I would 100% sustain a season ending injury the very first time I was hit by an NFL-sized defender. If not in practice where they might coddle me, certainly in any game.
$2m and an index fund and being able to play with my kids because I’m not an invalid, please and thank you |

Date: April 13th, 2026 2:11 PM Author: Nazca Redlines How often do kickers get hit on PATs or FGs? Pretty much never. And when they get hit, it's rarely hard, like a blindside sack or something. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5856655&forum_id=2#49814696) |
